Returned data is varchars and integers. That's a tenuous conclusion; it assumes that the data transfer is what's taking all the time. Query planning and execution and client-side processing must also be taken into account. Using a sniffer to observe the amount of data transferred would be a more appropriate test. -- Michael Fuhr
